I've been eyeing this vanity domain for years, and it looks like it's finally expiring next month! The registrar is NameSilo. I even tried to purchase it through GoDaddy's broker service years ago, but despite having a budget of $2000, I never got a response from the owner. Do you think they may have abandoned the domain? What would you recommend I do to try and acquire it?

To increase your chances, consider using a drop-catching service. You might have to pay a fee, but it gives you a shot at snagging the domain as soon as it becomes available.
That domain has been registered for a long time, I really doubt it’s actually going to expire. The owner likely has it on auto-renew, which is why they’re not responding to offers.
If they’re ignoring your $2000 offer, they probably won’t let it expire either. It’s a lost cause trying to snag it. Better to look for other options!
It’s pretty common for domains to auto-renew. Even if it’s listed as expiring, the owner might renew it on the last day, so don’t get your hopes up just yet!
From my experience, many registrars hold domains for a grace period after they expire, typically around 30 days, just in case the owner forgets to renew. So, don't lose hope just yet; it might take a while before it's truly available.
